 2.If going outside is essential, avoid travelling in overcrowded buses or trains. 3.The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.So between people who are in close contact with one another a 6 feet distance must be maintained. 


 4.Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 30 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Use a hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.


5.Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue while coughing and sneezing.


6. If you're sick, coughing rapidly or have even simple flu wear a face mask when you are around other people.

7.Do stock up on groceries, medicine and resources so that you don't have to rush to the market often.But do not panic-buy things.Our prime minister has already assured stable supply of essential commodities and therefore requested as not to do panic-buying.


8.Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.


9.Keeping yourself in self quarantine is the best option.


10.COVID-19 symptoms include fever, shortness of breath and a cough.Symptoms may appear 3-14 days after exposure.Call your doctor or go to the nearest test centre if you find these symptoms.
